The FoRartY Case.

Public sentiment undoubtedly sustains
the decision of the court everything the
motion for new trial in the Fogarty case.
The defense of Fogarty was that being an
epileptic he was not responsible for his
actions. The same thing was urged as a
reason why new trial should be granted
The court called attention to the fact that
the plea of insanity was not set up during
the trial. If that plea had been made
Fogarty's mental condition would have been
inquired into, and if it had been found that
he was so unsound mentally as not 10 be
accountable for his conduct he would not
have been tried for the crime for which he
was indicted, but would have been sent TO
the insane asylum. Instead of pleading in
sanity Fogarty's liberty was asked for, and
the jury found him guilty.
If Fogarty is insane it is clear that he is
a dangerous lunatic and ought to be placed
under some restraint. If he is accountable
for his conduct, then, of course, he ought to
be punished for his crime.
II his friends considered him insane, il is
reasonable to suppose that they would have
set up the plea of insanity when he was
tried II was hardly TO be expected that
the jury would find him to be insane when
those who had the best opportunity of judg-
ing of his mental condition indicated by the
course they pursued that they did not con

| The Race Question North and South.
The case of the colored clergyman and his
wife who were compelled to leave a first
class passenger car and ride in a smoking
car on Georgia railroad couple of weeks
ago is being quite generally discussed by
| the Northern Republican journals. The
case has been brought to the attention of
the interstate commerce commission and
! doubtless that body will have something to
say about il soon.
But, in view of the prejudice which exists
at the North against colored people, it is
rather remarkable that Republican journals
should make so much out of every instance
of race prejudice which occurs in the South
They were not at all demonstrative in their
condemnation of Mr.. Bradley, the owner of
Asbury Park, a summer resort on the New
Jersey coast, when he announced, a few
days ago that he wanted the cOlored PEG
PIE to keep away from that place
because they injured it by their presence.
1t would not be at all difficult to point out
other cases which have occurred recently
at the North showing that the white people
there are no more tolerant of contact with
colored people where there is an assumption
of equality than the white people at the
South are.
The Georgia railroad, if the facts were
stated correctly, committed a grave error
in accepting first-class fare from the colOred
clergyman and his wife unless it was pro
posed to furnish them with frst-class ac-
commodations. To sell them tickets which
entitled them to places in a first-class car
and then to force them to occupy seats in
the smoking car was a wrong for which the
railroad company ought to be held re-
sponsible.
The Northern people who see compare
lively few colored people and, hence, are
not prepared TO speak on the merits of the
color line question from a practical stand
point, would doubtless entertain very diff
ferent views with regard to it if the per
centage of the colored population at the
North were as great as it is at the South
In some parts of the South, if the colored
people were permitted in first-class cars
they would drive the white people out of
them not only because of their numbers but
also because of their uninviting condition.
OF course there are plenty of neatly dressed
and well behaved colOred people in the
South, but their number is hardly
noticeable compared to that of
the rough laborers from the cotton
fields, turpentine farms and lumber dis
tricts, who crowd the trains
The North has no occasion to charge the
South with unreasonable race prejudice
The Hebrew at the South has every courtesy
shown him. He is welcomed as he ought
to be, and sees no discrimination against
him. Does he find the same courteous treat
ment at the North Not only is Judge
Hilton's great hotel at Saratoga closed
against him, but he is barred out of many
other places where guests are received, The
North is not in a position to lecture the
South on the race question.

Senator Vests Story.
From the New York Tribune.

Mr.. Vest while not a success as a political
prophet, is one of the best story tellers in the
Senate One day something was said in his
presence about the negro as a soldier. Vest
commended that in exact, literal obedience to and
enforcement of orders the colored soldier is I'M
surpassed He said: After the war went up
the river to Shreveport on steamboat. There
was large quantity Of government cotton on
the levee, protected by negro sentries, and there
were strict orders against smoking | went
ashore with Maj. Gillespie. Now the
Major was one of the best fellows in the
world and he was such stiCkler for superiority
on account of birth and race that he would
hardly admit that the Caucasian and the
negro were proper subjects for comparison.
He was a man Of fiery temper, too, and withal
as brave as a lion As he was lighting cigar
at the gangway l remarked: Major, the or
ders against smoking are very strict" Never
mind, he replied, 'IdOnt see any about except
Niger guards" Well, we had not walked a
dozen yards when we heard the command:
Halt" and the click of a trigger as the ham
mer was raised We halted. There stood a
soldier black as the ace of spades, looking at us
along the shining barrel of a Springfield rifle.
"Drap de segah, he said. The Major looked at
the gun, at the man behind it, at the 'segah'
and then he let the lighted 'segah' drop to the
ground. ''Tromp out dem sparks was the next
command. Again the Major looked at the gun
and the man behind it, and then he meekly
'tromped out dem sparks After We got away,
l offered the Major 'segah, but he said that he
didn't believe he cared to smoke"

COMPLAINTS of New York Hotels.

1t is said that the New York hotel keepers
for the first time in many years are com
planning of dull business. As rule their
houses re about as well filled in summer as
in winter. People from all parts of the
country go to New York when seeking or
returning from summer resorts along the
Atlantic coast, and thousands go there who
do not patronize any other summer resort
than Coney Island.
1t is said that two things have helped to
keep visitors away from New York this
year., One is the general disturbance which
business has suffered on account of strikes
and the other is the provision OF the inter
state commerce law which prohibits rail
roads from issuing passes. 1t seems rather
remarkable that the abolition Of the pass
system should have a damaging effect upon
the New York hotels, but it is nevertheless
asserted that such is the case.
There were hundreds, and perhaps thou
sands, of people in every State who had in
fluence enough to get a pass for trip to
New York, and they generally took this
trip in the summer. Now that they have to
pay good round sum to get to that city the
great majority of them do tgo. The pass
system, however, never was any great bene-
fit to these people, because feeling they had
saved their railroad fare, they were gener-
ally more extravaganza than they otherwise
would have been. They were about certain
to spend the amount of the railroad fare in
addition to what they would have spent had
they paid their fare. The New York hotel
keepers, however, are as rule so prosper
Gus that they can afford to have few dull
weeks in the summer.

A Joke on Senator Ransom.

A good joke is told on Senator Ransom by Mr..
e. G. Harrell, Secretary of the North Carolina
Teachers Association, 215 of whom spent sew
eral days in this city last week. Mr.. Harrell
came on several days ahead of the association,
and asked Senator Ransom to 60 with him and
introduce him to the various steamboat and
hotel proprietors, with whom he wished to make
special rates. senator Ransom demurred, and
said he did not think his constituents sent him
here TO attend to that kind of business. He
added, somewhat impatiently: What will be
the next fool thing the people of North Carolina
will be guilty OFF, Mr.. farrell promptly re-
piled: About the next fool thing they do,
General, will be To re-eect you to the United
States Senate" RanSOm's goo0 humor was re-
stored, and he went TO the desired places with
his free-spoken constituent and secured, with
his accustomed suavity, the desired rates, etc.

An Address That Ought to be Made
Right Away Quick.
From the CHICAGO Trfbun


young men and women" some practical old
physician will say some day in addressing a
graduating class in medicine, you are about to
go out into the world as doctors, to extract a
living from its inhabitants. Most of you are
young men, and take it for granted that you
are gentlemen, although don't know such to
be the case. A few of you are young women,
and take it equally for granted that you are
ladies, though for purposes of scientific demon
stration my opinion on this subject could not he
taken as conclusive. But / trust you may be
mercifuly spared from the folly of ever speak
ing of yourselves as lady doctors or gentleman
doctors. The one title is appropriate as the
other Let the scruhladies, the washladies, and
chamberladies, the salesladies and the fOreladies
continue to monopolize the professional use of
the word lady. Never let me hear of a lady
doctor. The term is ridiculous If l had a
daughter who called herself a lady doctor
should try to marry her to some gentleman
preacher, and then | would have them both put
in glass case and kept on exhibition as warn
ing to mankind If il becomes actually neces
sary to designate your sex in speaking of you
as physicians you are male doctors and female
doctors or doctors and doctOresses, if you pre-
fer The Lord created you male and female. Re
member that. 1t is not reproach to you, or
He would not have done it. A medical college
can only make you doctors 1t can't make you
lady and gentlemen doctors-the Lord be
thanked

1t is said that among government clerks
in Washington there is a mania for re

is sort of tribute to the efficiency
of the civil service rules. It seems
that the government has been supplied
with such excellent material by the Civil
Service Commission that the appointees are
being sought out by private establishments.

tunities," says the Washington correspond
ent of the Baltimore Sun, "are inducing the

seek their fortunes in tire broader walks of
